SOPHOMORE GARY Gussman kicked three field goals, and tailback George Swarn topped 100 yards rushing for the sixth consecutive game to lead host Miami (Ohio) (8-2-1) to a victory over Cincinnati (6-5). Miami's defense held Cincinnati to just a field goal in the second half to win the 90th game in the football rivalry, billed as the oldest west of the Allegheny Mountains. Miami holds a 50-34-6 edge in the series, which started in 1888. Swarn carried 32 times for 107 yards, giving him nine 100-yard games this season.
